As part of the plan for next-generation Node, we're trying to make the code, repositories, and packaging less monolithic. Two of the bugs for the hackathon this week 1191419 (splitting the packaging for ovirt-node into components) and this one, 1191962 (providing dbus interoperability for the current configuration API) are related. The goal is for next-generation Node to drop the current TUI and handle configuration and interaction through Cockpit. As part of this, we're hoping to use Dbus for configuration as much as possible. Using our own code where nobody else handles it and moving to other components (storaged, networkmanager, etc) where possible, to lower our maintenance burden. In order to make our current configuration code available over Dbus, we need a separate daemon which is capable of introspecting and publishing the relevant classes. This is not tightly coupled to oVirt Node's current code, and the ovirt-node repository doesn't feel like a suitable place to put it. It's related, but not the same, much in the same way as the current ovirt-node-plugin-* repositories currently are. The code is currently at: http://github.com/evol262/node-cockpit It comprises a basic systemd service file, a Dbus policy to allow it to run on the system bus, packaging, testing instructions, and the actual python which drives the service.
